Health inspector puts lid on Beacon Hill Mongolian hot pot

A city health inspector yesterday ordered Hulun Beir, 326 Cambridge St., shut until it fixes a long list of violations, including cooks not washing their hands at all - not that it would matter, since their sink had no hot water - containers in use despite caked-on food and evidence a sink supposedly being set aside for hand washing was being used to rinse food.

Also, the manager showed little evidence of knowledge of sanitary food preparation or what to do should an employee show up to work while sick, the inspection states.

The restaurant can re-open after a re-inspection shows the problems have been fixed.
